ing the Jail ONCE Hoke dotted
his shining silk. hat and handed it care
fully to his coachman. Then opening a
Yalise he withdrew q soft felt turoan
travelling hat and placed it jauntily on the
front of his head. AS he did so he caught
sight of the United Press reporter, who
was watching him intently, and his eyes
closed with a seeming effort while the
blood rushed into his wan cheeks, and
made HIM look something like his old self
again.
In brief consultation with Sheriff
Noel Hoke requested the privilege OF TAX
ing up his quarters in the Debtors ]"
room, but that official replied:
ssNo, sir; don't want to take any risks.
You will have to go to jail proper"
The sheriff then turned the prisoner
over to Turnkey Brodman, who took his
man out into the corridor. AS Brodman
turned the crank and the massive iron
bars slowly rolled aside, Hoke said to
him:
whats the matter with .As room up
stairs?''
Brodman replied; There's nothing up
stairs for you"
Hoke fdgeted for moment or two and
said:
''Mr. Noel SAID 1 could go up there.''

the turnkey, tare to put you in here"
Hoke walked through the aperture and
found himself in the prisoners dining
room. The twelve inmates were just fin
ishing breakfast, and several of them
arose to welcome so notable an accession
to their brotherhood.
At nine o'clock Holze's breakfast was
brought him from home, and with 1t came
his wife. She saw him through the bars,
but betrayed no emotion at the sight
Hoke also exhibited his phenomenal
nerve, and the meeting was as cool as if
the parties had never seen each other
before. 1t is said that Hoke must have
some $4,000 left out of the $4,000 taken,
to draw upon.

American Legal Methods Given a Little
Airing i'm England.
LONDON, Feb. 9.-Next Tuesday, in Lam
cashire, a man will be hung for murder
committed shortly after New Years. A
paper speaking of the event, compares the
speedy justice of England with the laxity
Of America in executing condemned muir
derers. 1t cites the Maxwell case in ste
Louis, Spies in Chicago, and other cases
in America, and closes with this little
stab of irony, which is timely, to say the
least:
''After sentences have been passed in
America the law of the Republic holds as
first principle that every possible
chance should be given to a suspect to
prove his innocence. The law will not
take a mean advantage of a suspect sim
ply because circumstances are cruel
toward him. In a few years the witnesses
might forget the points of their evidence,
or die, or become aldermen, or in some
other way make themselves I'M
worthy of trust. The prisoner him
self, in the interval, might
succumb to high living or old age, but that
would be his own lookout, and the law
would only pity his misfortune in thus I'M
timely dropping of when there was good
prospect of a flaw being discovered in the
Supreme Court to favor an entire retriaL
In no part of the world has crime a better
chance of escaping with impunity than
in the great Republic. 1t is rampant and
defiant. The knowledge of it is no bar
rier to acceptance in business circles, and
a kno wn criminal is apt TO be regarded as
a little above the rest The bail system,
and the theory that a suspected man
should be provided with facilities for
proving his possible or impossible limo
cence are at the bottom of this state of
things"

One of the Cleveland Fur Thieves Rescued
by Gang of Confederates After Prob
ahiv Fatally Wounding the Officers in
Charge.
ing, as Captain of Police Hoehn and De-
tective Hulligan were returning on the
Cleveland q Pittsburgh railroad from
Pittsburgh with one of the prisoners sus-
pected of being implicated in the recent
fur robbery in this city, they were as
saulted and nearly killed and their man
taken from them. 1t was noticed by some
of the trainmen that four strangers board
ed the express at Ravenna, Ohio. Shortly
after the train started scufle and several
shots were heard in the front car. Run
ming in, the brakeman found Captain
Hoehn lying on the floor with a bullet
hole in his shoulder, another in his thigh
and his head badly cut from blows infiict-
ed from some blunt instrument Huligan
was lying insensible, his head being liter
ally smashed open.
The two officers were brought to this
city at 6 a. m. Captain Hoehn was taken
o the city hospital and Hulligan to his
.ome. The extent of their injuries is not
definitely known, but it is feared that
dulligan is badly wounded. Superintend-
emit of Police Schmidt Immediately tele-
yraphed to the sheriff of Portage County
to spare no expense in efforts to capture
the would-bc murdererS. A posse is now
in pursuit.
DIR. W. W. White, of Ravenna, was
aboard the train at the time of the assault
upon the officers, and accompanied them
to Cleveland. His account of the assault
is as follows:
s'Half dozen men boarded the train at
Alliance, and when we were nearing Ra-
VIENNA, at a.. m, dash was made for the
prisoner Hulligan was struck on the
head with coupling-pin and knocked in
sensible. Captain Hoehn then made n
rush for the rescuers, when the party
opened fire on him. Over twenty shots
were fired, and in the meantime the pris-
oner, who was shackled to Hulligan, was
being dragged out of the car The confu-
sion was so great that little is known of
the occurrence in detaiL''
Hulligan remembers nothing from the
time he was struck until he regained con-
seriousness. The pris had been cut
loose from the officer, and. with his res
cuers, escaped in the darkness, when the
train slowed up at the depot. Hulligan's
condition is critical. Captain Hoehn says
he shot one of the party. The prisoners
name is said to be Mcmillan or McMunn-
The ARRAY took place in the smoking car.

Word comes from Fort Huachuca that a dense column of smoke rose above the San Jose mountain, on the Sonora line near Fort Huschuca, after the earth quake of yesterday, and at night the top of the cone was afame. As there Is no timber on that mountain, and the hills in the vicinity are covered with lava, there can be no doubt that it is an act i've volcano Gen. Forsyth will make an examination to-day to determine the character of the phenomenon.

A severe shock of earthquake was felt hsre Tuesday at about five minutes be- fore three o'clock p. m. The vibration was from east to west, and sufficiently strong to make the walls of buildings sway, doors and window frames rattle, and make the water in the ditches roll backward and forward. People rushed into the streets in squads and battalions. It was new experience to most of them and they did not know what was the mat ter. The same shock was felt all along the Pacific coast.

Eho Efiects of Mental Exnaus-
 ti0n

Many diseases, especially those of the nervous system, are the products of daily renewed mental exhaustion. Business avocatiens often involve an amount of mental wear and tesr very prejudiclal to physical health, and the professions, Ii arduously pursued, arc ne less destruct- i've to brain and nerve tissue. It IS one of the most important attributes of Hos tetter's Stomach Bitters that 1t compen- sates for this undue loss of tissue, and that it impsrts new energy to the brain and nerves. The rapidity with which Il renews weakened mental energy and physical vitality is remarkable, ano shows that its invigorating properties ar' of the highest order. Besides increasing vital stamina and counteracting the ef fleets of mental exhaustion, this poten | tial medicine cures and prevents feve and ague, rheumatism, chronic dyspep
 sia and constipation, kidney and uterin
 weakness and other complaints. Physi
 cians also commend 1t as medicate
 stimulant and remedy.
